Marseille have held talks with City's Wilfried Bony as a potential €15m back-up plan to Carlos Bacca. Fenerbahçe also interested. [L'Equipe]

Marseille director Zubizarreta spoke with Bony several days ago to discuss his situation and the conditions of a transfer. [France Football]
 
Not sure why people think Bony isn't a good fit for Bielsa, sure he likes his high-intensity pressing but he also likes target men, Fernando Llorente at Athletic Bilbao, Gignac/Ayew at Marseille..

That said it's still unlikely as it carries some risk
 
Marseille would be a good move but I am not building my hopes up on Bony ending up there (or at another club) just yet.

Marseille have some money and are in the market for a striker in his mould. So it's not entirely impossible. Bacca/Giroud definitely seem a little out of their reach (this coming from a Marseille supporting mate of mine who lives down there).

He will do well there (providing he can get himself motivated) it's a reasonable fee. The only problem is Bony's wages could be a problem.

I wouldn't buy him, so I can hardly see an experienced manager of a big club buying someone that couldn't get in Stoke's team last season

Hopefully he'll go, for his own sake more than anything, I just can't see him going to a team with a vision
